Mary Moraa reveals next destination as she plots a strong comeback following Olympics flop
Mary Moraa has disclosed where she will run next after the Paris Olympic Games where she did not achieve her goal.
The victory was not just a personal best for Hocker but also an Olympic record, making the upcoming race in Lausanne a much-anticipated rematch.
Despite faltering in the 1500m where he led until the last 300 meters before Hocker's explosive finish, Ingebrigtsen showed resilience by taking the gold in the 5000m, which was a tactical and physical challenge for him.
"When you hit a wall and don’t perform the way you want to, it’s very difficult. But for me, I’m participating in two events in Paris. I got another shot, I just had to make the most of it," the Norwegian star said.
